The work depicts a valiant warrior, wounded and sinking to the ground. Or thank you, Rodin, perhaps she would have been lost forever.īy the way, if you are in Philly, there is a wonderful Rodin Museum a block away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There is also something more akin to Degas’ dancers, especially in the faces, which makes me wonder is there any connection between Degas and Claudel? Might her work have influenced him? In any event, whether mental illness or family neglect, a powerhouse lost to us, except in these beautiful pieces. I loved the freedom of the bronze piece, which reminded me someone of pieces like The Beloved by Rodin, but this one has a wonderful sense of balance/imbalance that was not his style. And 2 years later, I am seeing that this is the work of Camille Claudel, the one time love of Rodin, and a brilliant sculptor in her own right. When I viewed this work, I shot all the cards, but never read them. What a waste, which makes the room of her work her seem inevitably more important. Claudel, on the other hand spent the last thirty years doing nothing. Van Gogh, though locked up in the asylum, was encouraged to pursue his painting.

You sit there for a while, being hit between the eyes, that you have crossed over from one artist to another, just as you sometimes do when you go from Rubens to van Dyke. In the shot below, notice her feet are more active, as if springing into action.Īnd then there is the work of Claudel. The tension of the male feet, almost surprised by the kiss are beautiful, and gives insight into Rodin’s thinking. The large scale Kiss, both in clay and marble, show the thought that went into the piece. ![]() There are many pieces which are instructive as well. There are so many classic pieces here, displayed in a very informal manner. We use it for just about anything, but in that afternoon in Paris, beauty seemed to hide herself in various corners of the Hôtel Biron (Musée Rodin). Le Baiser (The Kiss) was the name critics actually gave this piece.īeauty has become such a cheap word. This has a kind of excitement that many of the more solemn, quieter pieces do not have. This one is done in bronze and retaining its originally green and brass patina. La Defénse (The Call to Arms) has to be one of the most dramatic pieces, transcending most of the Rococo around it.
